TIE DEAR LONG AGO.

III the gray of t1e cleaning DER loWiand
and highland
The storm wind is sounding its bHglcs
afar,
The pillows roll back Oh the desoiate is
In vain Shall the mariner seek for star.
O keeper, look well to the beacon forth
cleaning;
@ fisher steer boldly with eye to the light,
lest slumher unbrOken by walking or
Thy portion Shall be IT, this turbulent
night.
Yet quiet sit, thinking not Of the sobbing
So eerie and dreary Of tempest and snow,
For tones in my heart with strange sweet
ness are thTobhIng
ago.
] am borllc to The days that were swift in
their dying,
All pnising with music and sparkling
with nirth,
The days when my childhood no space had
No place for the phantoms of darkness
and dcarth.
On the hearth pales the fires red glow to
dull ashen;
NitIout. the trees moan in the deepening
chill,
But fancy recalls to my spirit the fashion
Of Spring Oh the meadow. the plain and
the riII.
! remember the llacs that budded and
lowered,
The willows that dipped in the full
flooded stream,
The orchards with blossoms so lavishly
lowered ;
In times when JOY held me unchecked
and supreme.
All, wild is the Winter on lOwland and
highland,
And black break the waves on the storm
battered coast,
And sound the long bugles on peak and on
island
And gathers the tempest with haste and
With host.
| sit by myself in the gray Of the cleaning,
1 muse on the days that were tender and
true,
And my heart like a child fain to rest after
roaming,
Is back in Tie bright days, my mother.
with you.
